Takashi Tashiro, the new CEO of Tokyo-based energy company Remixpoint, will be paid in Bitcoin as part of stated efforts to be “in the same boat” as shareholders, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

Remixpoint said it will calculate Tashiro's salary and taxes, purchase the equivalent amount in Bitcoin (BTC) and transfer it to a wallet the CEO designates. The move is as part of a “shareholder-oriented management,” the company said.

We often hear companies talk about acquiring bitcoin but are those CEOs actually using bitcoin in their lives or just accumulating for profit? This type of people, those who take the step forward, will help bitcoin be adopted better. Soon, others might see the benefits of receiving your salary through bitcoin as Tashiro becomes a leading example.

A CEO taking his salary in Bitcoin sounds really good. When a company wants to pay its top employees in Bitcoin, it will definitely encourage other employees to take their salaries in Bitcoin. And hopefully he won't sell his Bitcoins too quickly because if he were spending his salary regularly, he would be more interested in taking Fiat money. He definitely wants to hold onto Bitcoin, which is why he is interested in taking his salary in Bitcoin. Of course, his initiative is to be applauded. You know very well how valuable Bitcoin is going to be in the future.

Would we even know where his BTC would go afterward?

We probably never would know that for sure...
